A few months ago, I asked you rabid “One Tree Hill” fans to help me narrow down the show’s 120+ episodes into a “must-see” list that could help newbies catch up on the show and serve as a highlight reel of all the show embodies.

In all, nearly a hundred episodes got at least one vote, showing how wide your love of this show is. A few episodes, though, rose to the top. Season finales and premieres were popular, and the most votes went to the third season episode “With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept.” That episode, featuring the shooting of Uncle Keith, is a clear favorite among fans and really was a turning point for the series.

In all, season 3 got the most love. Season 2 got the least. Here are the 12 “essential” episodes, in chronological order, as voted by fans. (SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THROUGH SEASON SIX, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK).

1.01 Pilot
Oh, the pilot. Frankly, I’m amazed you all picked this one. It was a pretty shaky pilot, having been reshot from an earlier version that had, among other things, a different actress playing the Haley role. Plus, it didn’t have Brooke, whose addition lightened the show considerably. Besides, most of the ground work of this pilot, introducing relationships and characters, was reiterated in the next few episodes as the show kept trying welcome new fans.

1.22: “The Games That Play Us”
Now we’re talking. A heart attack. A marriage. A psycho stalker. A dramatic basketball game. All the hallmarks of a great “One Tree Hill” episode are here. Plus, the departure of Lucas and Keith for places unknown helps lay the groudwork for season-ending cliffhangers to come.

2.23: “The Leavers Dance”
A meandering second season snapped back into focus with this second episode of a two-part season finale. The mystery of who set the dealership on fire (with Dan inside) will play out throughout the year to come. Plus, this is a key episode for the fans of Brucas, those who rooted for a Brooke-Lucas happily ever after.

3.16: “With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept.”
Over the top? Poignant? Too dark? Too raw? Call this episode what you will, but you can’t deny its importance in the “One Tree Hill” canon. The sounds of Uncle Keith being shot by Dan will reverberate for years to come. And this episode proved that the show could reach beyond hookups and hook shots and tap into its audience’s hearts.

3.22: “Show Must Go On”
Remember that fire? Deb comes clean, capping a great year of performances from Barbara Alyn Woods. Plus, a wedding, two pregnancies and more Brooke/Lucas/Peyton fireworks. Oh yeah, and Nathan and Haley’s limo careens off a bridge.

4.9: “Some You Give Away”
One of the few episodes picked that isn’t a season ender or premiere, this may be my personal favorite episode. The state championship game frames several compelling stories, including a pregnant Haley, pill-popping Deb, and Nathan, who’s under pressure to throw the game.

4.21: “All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone”
Graduation. For any show about high school, it all leads up to this.

5.1: “4 Years 6 Months 2 Days”
So what do you do after graduation? Skip ahead four years and have everybody reconnect after college. This episode is packed with so much backstory, it is indeed essential viewing for folks who want to enjoy the show’s later seasons. And after a warm and cozy fourth season finale, this ep explains how everything went very, very wrong.

5.12: “Hundred”
Another wedding, another psycho stalker. The show’s 100th episode includes a few returning regulars and nice homages to the past, but thanks to Nanny Carrie, it also sets the groundwork for some of the wackiest storytelling of the show so far.

6.1: “Touch Me I’m Going to Scream”

After a much buzzed about fifth season finale in which Lucas asks someone to marry him over the phone, we learn that it’s Peyton, and the two of them finally begin their happily ever after. Dan, meanwhile is in the clutches of Nanny Carrie.

6.23: “Forever and Almost Always”
6.24: “Remember Me as Time of Day”
Clearly fans are still enjoying a season six afterglow, as they picked the final two episodes of last year to make this list. A Lucas-Peyton wedding drives a dagger into the hearts of Brucas fans, but this show has always been the Lucas and Peyton story, so “Remember Me” ends with them driving into the sunset with a new baby in tow. And in a weird move, the sixth season ends with nary a cliffhanger. Nathan gets called up to the NBA. Brooke finds happiness. It’s the rarest of TV anolmalies — a shiny happy “One Tree Hill” episode.

My brain was astonished when I’ve first seen this sweet piece of action. Newest tablet game from a one of the best game studios, featuring such awesome and wondrous enemies that I’m still shocked and consternated. Witnessing myriads of zombie bugs dead, trigger invariably beating as I was releasing a barrage of bullets from my shadowgun and throwing grenades everywhere. Ominous lead character reminisced me of the old Doom PC game, though Combat Trigger: Modern Dead 3D has many more gameplay features. Our defenses gets to be personalized which is the only thing that lets us advance even further into this science fiction nightmare. Modern warfare gets blended with murky and cynical futurism, where deep space exploration gave us only unspeakable panic of having Terra occupied by dead zombie invaders. Billions of them, actually. All hungry for our lives and our paraphernalia! Cool ego shooter, hard waffen, wow.
Become a frontline commando with your rifle blazing, or snipe the undead devils from huge areas. All using only your tablet display. Only the best exploits of modern warfare mingled with an quick trigger finger will allow you to succeed over the dead zombies. Awesome graphics encourage you to follow your call of duty. Combat in modern style your terror when travelling through future Earth cities and throwing barrages of bullets from your shadowgun, become the extreme mobile frontline commando, murdering countless like an android.
Best game ever!

I have just stumbled upon a new racing app for android, it’s called Real Race: Asphalt Road Racing and it’s really like a simulator with arcade feel.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I’d give it a strong 8. List of features is almost overwhelming, so is its playability. Besting the leaderboards really entangles you and you are instantly drawn in. It trully reminds me of Asphalt Overdrive. Overall it is a awesome, challenging free app.
There are no chases with the police, but I suppose it is good though as multiplayer asphalt feature gives ample occasion to demonstrate your cool underground drag racing skills.
It boasts some very advanced Artificial Inteligence and I’m playing it already ten times successively or so and it’s still fun and interesting.
Racing through dunes and grasslands, avenues and highways, it’s like Need for Speed Carbon or Most Wanted, and as a matter of fact the newest edition, NFS: Rivals.
On-screen high speed gives an illusion of actually being there and racing with top drivers as seen in TV. Stress spikes are numerous.
It’s kinda cool to race and beat other racers on six or so maps. App feels similar to race with GT cars like lamborghini or dodge viper.
